So since you guys are talking about graphic card from bgf tech can anyone tell me what would be a stable clock and mem. frequencies for the fx5200 PCI 256mb or a least tell me where I can get a software to test it. Do I have to buy a new fan for it since I overclocked my card to 355 for clock and 477 for mem. to keep the temperature in a safe lvl.

If your card doesn't have a fan on it already then go ahead and whack one on,
But if you already have a fan on it then don't bother well not unless you're going to put on one of them massive heatsink jobbies
But in general overclocking with stock fans on gcards is ok you're not likely to burn your card out because you'll notice artifacts well before the card gets hot enough and breaks.

I'm going to make a review on this card, but I just thought I'd mention this thing is AWESOME, amazing overclocking potential, stock 6800GT performance for 100$ less. Im very happy with the card, but here are some very prelimenary scores:

I hate to say this but a score of 16k isn't that good for a 6800.... you should be hitting 20k without any oc'ing.....

maybe but dont forget you only have 12 pipes not 16 plus the extra 128 megs. i scored 20 somthing out of the box and with the new 66.93 drivers it boosted my score up 1300 or so .and i still havent oc'ed it yet 350gpu/1.0 mem but hey keep playing with it and im sure your game play rocks so have fun with it......

I have my 6800GT OC but I cant score over 16k on 3dmark. Basically I gave up on it when I ran the doom3 timedemo and got 75.8 fps on Ultra. I havent figured it out yet, but I also dont have the time to jack with it right now.
